Pea Protein Sweetens Greening Oranges

20190703

Jones Laffin, an Albany-GA based ingredient science and research company, has developed an innovative solution to address citrus greening. Through a long-term partnership with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the firm has created a pea protein that will restore the sweet taste of Florida oranges, when mixed with the bitter juice from “greening” oranges.

According to a recent statement by CEO Alvin Jones, “Our team’s latest endeavor to utilize the polymer restructuring technology with pea protein has resulted in a very timely solution to the citrus greening disease which has spread across Florida, infecting virtually 100 percent of commercial orange groves.”
